If you want a quick and easy recipe that is healthy for you and your family, then you will want to try out this Mixed Vegetables and Quinoa Stuffed Peppers recipe. I love how this recipe features and adds a special taste to one of the most popular super foods around – quinoa. This recipe is packed with protein, vitamins and nutrients. And it’s also good for vegetarian and gluten-free diets.

Prepare Quinoa in a pot with vegetable stock (or chicken stock) for about 15 minutes or until it’s tender and fluffy.

Lower oven temperature to 374 degrees F.

Brush bell peppers with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a baking tray, uncut sides up and roast for about 20 minutes or until tender and skins start to darken.

Cool on wire rack.

Meantime, heat 3 tbsp. oil on a saucepan over a medium-high flame and cook garlic. Mix in onions, zucchini, eggplant, and chili peppers. Cook for about 10 minutes or until tender.

Add cooked quinoa, and the rest of the ingredients.

Season with salt and pepper.

Stuff peppers with the mixture, drizzle with olive oil and heat inside oven for several minutes until heated through.

Top with cheese and serve.
